The official McDonald's corporate Twitter account was not loving President Donald Trump for a few minutes Thursday morning.

A tweet sent at 9:16 a.m. ET and since deleted called Trump "a disgusting excuse of a President" and took aim at the size of his hands.

The message from @McDonaldsCorp read: "@realDonaldTrump You are actually a disgusting excuse of a President and we would love to have @BarackObama back, also you have tiny hands."

The account later tweeted that Twitter alerted McDonald's the account was compromised. "We deleted the tweet, secured our account and are now investigating this."
